A few days ago me and Fritjof of Socialbusiness.se published a guest blog post entitled "Now we can talk to each other at work".
If you're interested, please check out the blog post on Socialbusiness. It's in Swedish, but I've translated it for you through Google Translate as well.
Hope you all have a great summer by the way, my vacation starts Monday and I will see you again in August.

Great news!
A partner relationship is born. The Gothenburg based agency Dear Friends is now an Incentive partner. We have been working together with these great guys for a while but now we have taken the next steps together.
Why? Because their #1 in what they do, that's why. They are running Incentive internally as their collaboration solution so it's nice to know that they live as they learn :)
They have kindly invited me to do a guest blog post at their site as well.
Let's wish ourselves luck and do some business!

This Monday we got the message that we at Incentive are the winners of a Launch Pad contest for the Enterprise 2.0 Forum in Milan the 9th and 10th of June (next week that is!).
Both Rickard and me were really excited and booked flights and hotels in the blink of an eye. We started having creative ideas on how to build our exhibition booth (which was included in the award). What do you believe is a creative booth?
It will certainly be a great event and I look forward to come back to Milan, it's been to long since my last visit.
Are you going? Leave your Twitter handle in the comments and connect with us before and during the event.
Ci vediamo a Milano! (done through GTranslate, so I apologize for any grammatical #fails)

Malmö-based Drömmarnas Hus (the House of Dreams in English) are now live on the Incentive platform.
Drömmarnas Hus is a non-profit project for changing the world through culture that has existed since 1990 in Malmö, Sweden. They do a lot of work for and with the youth of Rosengård, a suburb of Malmö.
We at Incentive love their work and take pride in supporting them with the Incentive software for collaboration and social networking within their organisation.
Cheers to Rebecka, Graco, Johan and all the other hard-working individuals at Drömmarnas Hus, keep it up and I hope that the Incentive software can play a small part in your strive towards changing the world through culture.

Incentive och Skapa bjuder nu in till en heldagsutbildning med fokus på webbens interna och externa affärsnytta. Utbildningen sker på Världskulturmuseet i Göteborg den 15:e april från 08.30 till 16.00.
Vi på Incentive kommer att hålla i förmiddagens utbildning med starkt praktiskt fokus på hur din organisation ska införa kollaborativa och sociala verktyg i er internkommunikation. Du som deltagare får ta del av praktiska exempel från våra kunder SBAB, Dagens Nyheter, Europeiska Försäkringar, aRway och IBS.
Du får även lära dig hur du argumenterar för förändring i internkommunikationen till ledningsgruppen, hur blir internkommunikation en investering som ger vinst istället för en kostnad?
När du kommer ut från utbildningen har du verktyg och argument för att börja kommunicera högeffektivt internt. Du blir en Enterprise 2.0 Champ (och får ett klistermärke som bevisar det!).
Skapa kommer att hålla i en spännande eftermiddag med extern kommunikation i starkt fokus. Dagens webbkommunikation utgår från två mycket viktiga faktorer: den strategiska planen och sökmotorernas betydelse. Under eftermiddagen ger Skapa dig praktisk kunskap och verktyg inom webbstrategi, SEO och marknadskommunikation.
När du kommer ut från eftermiddagspasset kommer du med all säkerhet ha kunskap och verktyg för att göra din externa kommunikation så mycket mer lönsam och mätbar.
Kostnaden för utbildningen är 4000:- för hela dagen eller 2500:- per pass.
Kontakta gärna Gustav eller Sofia Björsander på Skapa om du har några frågor.

We're really glad to announce that we're working on an Incentive application for Android! The power of accessing the corporate wikis, blogs and microblogs on the go gives you freedom like never before.
We believe that being able to update and collaborate on the go is a highly appreciated feature for Enterprise 2.0 users.
The solution handles both Incentive Live hosted customers and you who installed Incentive locally behind your firewall through a very clever and secure solution.
The geniuses at SproutBrain are our partner in this project and the app is going to be amazing, fantastic and slick (as always).
Register your name and e-mail together with a short comment through the contact form (choose "General") for the possibility to be included in the mobile beta-testing program.
I for one am very excited to see Incentive on my Nexus One soon :)

We are very exited to announce that we just released a new site. We are exited because it's a collaborative platform for Swedish entrepreneurs who want to share their tips, daily work or just connect to each other.
To be more accurate - there are 880 driven entrepreneurs and all are women. We call it Ambassaden (the Embassy in plain English).
The project is financed by the Swedish government and is a part of The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth. If you're further interested read an English summary of the project on the site.
We love this initiative for many reasons, one is that it is to our knowledge the first time that the Swedish government does not "own" and does not have control of the content of "their" website. The participants are the creators, and they create a lot.
4000 wiki articles, 2900 blog postings and around 7000 comments when we last checked and it's constantly growing.
Being an entrepreneurial company ourselves, we also love that our government are taking initiatives to support these brave and dedicated people.
The ambassadors can post their microblog updates from Incentive directly to their Twitter account with the hashtag #ambassaden, visitors of the site can book an ambassador for an inspirational keynote and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Contact us if you have other questions.
Cheers

We have "hidden" 12 songtitles or quotes from songs at our brand new site www.incentivelive.com. Find them and win Spotify Premium subscriptions for a year!
Competition ends at 12 AM CET on the 5th of March. 5 of you who participate and do well will be winners of Spotify Premium subscriptions for one year each.
-----------------------------------
Important:
Do you live in the U.S, Germany or any other country that haven't experienced the greatness of the Swedish music streaming service? Doesn't matter, we have a solution for that! Just join the competition and make a run for it, we'll fix the rest.
-----------------------------------
We love music, but as you will see there's not ONLY great songs hidden around the site... ;-)
Okay, just click your way around the site and look for the 12 quotes/song titles in the content.
We highly appreciate your help with testing the content of the site, and if you can get a Spotify Premium subscription maybe it's worth a few clicks. Are we on the right track? Do we use the right language/tone? Do you have suggestions for us so we can improve?
Bonus points are awarded if you find some song/quote that we did not intentionally put on the site, motivate your answer and we will have a great time reading them as well!
Report your answers through our Contact Form where you highlight the radiobutton "Spotify competition" and write down the songs.
Good will hunting! (Film competition coming soon!) :)
Cheers,
Gustav

Besides creating a great site to introduce Incentive to our audience (hopefully you), we also wanted to provide a service - an easy way to follow what is said and not said in the Enterprise 2.0 world.
So - we decided to create what we call the "Enterprise 2.0 Lifestream" - a compiled RSS-feed from 14 (edit: 20) blogs around the world we think is worth including.
This RSS is compiled with our Feeds Package feature and it is published on our e2.0 blog. Blogs included are (in no order of relevance);
So do yourself a favour and subscribe to the compiled feed.
Do you think your blog should be included, or any other? Post a comment!
If you prefer we can also give you an login to the feeds administration, so that you can help us create the best Enterprise 2.0 feed available!
If so, drop me a line on rickard@incentivelive.com or through twitter.com/rickardhansson.
Regards,
Rickard

Hello world!
You are reading this at our new site, premiering today. We are very proud of it and certainly hope that you will like it (otherwise we are going to publicly cry, I promise).
If you on your way around the site find something strange, a glitch or a bug or some other #fail; please tell us through commenting or contacting us.
Much more info will be published through this blog, so if you would like to keep up there is RSS up to your right.
Until later then!
